In Sky's Thundering Heart

In Sky's Thundering Heart

Within high airy clouds,
   No dust chokes the throat;
   Sails a white rising boat,
Far below dark shrouds
   Covers evil that gloats!

In sky's thundering heart,
   Upon a majestic throne;
   A soul weeps so alone
And prays for another start
   Not cutting in the bone.

With a violent airy rush,
   Storm gives relief;
   From pained broken belief,
Rises a calm, loving hush.

Within this fine blessing,
   A song soon graces,
   Smiles on those faces,
Of two lovers confessing;
   Missteps in saddened paces

Within high airy clouds,
   No dust chokes the throat;
   Sails a white rising boat,
Far below dark shrouds
   Cover evil that gloats!
